I've also only read the readme file. It states that many more classes need to be wrapped. This sounds pretty incomplete. I didn't test it, so I can't say whether the implemented parts work as expected. The problem is that the perl wrapper is outdated as the available version dates September 2006. Since then wxPdfDocument has improved a lot. > 2) So if I have a wxRichText document How should I go from that to a > wxPDF? Good question. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer. Probably this would require some efforts to integrate wxPdfDocument resp wxPdfDC somehow in the wxWidgets printing framework as methods are required to inject a wxPdfDC instance into the output chain. Maybe an alternative could be to write a class similar to wxRichTextXMLHandler which takes wxRichText contents and transfers it to PDF using native methods of wxPdfDocument. > It looks as though the install will be interesting.

I can't say for sure for the Perl wrapper, but wxPdfDocument definitely works on Linux. Regards, Ulrich -- E-Mail privat: ulrich.te...@gmx.de World Wide Web: http://www.telle-online.de
